Context Integration

heh :) well i've committed a plugin for ds (only development version) which makes it possible to expose a region to a block. see http://drupal.org/node/710034 So I think I can mark this as duplicate.

It's been a year since this question has been asked and this question is really independent of Panels. Has anybody used this module with Context? Does it play nice?

I'm going to assume that they work exclusive of each other because context deals with triggering blocks into block regions and this module only deals with the main content variable within a node or a block. The Omega theme (http://drupal.org/project/omega) with the Delta module (http://drupal.org/project/delta) enables a GUI admin interface for 960 grid layout that is tightly integrated with Context which means it's easy to create several different layouts of block regions based on a Context triggered a view ID, taxonomy term, user role or node type.

The thought of a module that allows configuring the layout of the content variable output based on node type or block just puts tingles down my spine. Hopefully there isn't too much overhead.

I wonder if works. Does anybody have any experience?

Switching build modes based on context certainly works. Why not try it out?

Yeah there is a context switch build mode module in node displays contributions which works fine for some use cases, see #866244: ND-Context integration (tiny module)
